John Cabot the explorer

John Cabot (Giovanni Caboto) was born on 1450 in Genoa, Italy. John Cabot was known for finding a different route to the same land that the Christopher Columbus set foot on. John Cabot was going to prove that there were other routes to the Americas. Just like Christopher Columbus John Cabot was a European, he was actually the second European to travel to the new worlds.
John Cabot married a woman named Mattea. Then later in the years he had three kids (Ludovico, Sebastian, and Sancto).
John Cabot had a second voyage, after his second voyage something went wrong john Cabot did not return from his second voyage, so what happen that john Cabot did not return? The Matthew (the ship of john Cabot) was sunken. There’s no proof that John Cabot ship had a sunken ship. They said that this happed in the year 1499, I don’t know what really happened but it was probably very tragic for the wife and kids.
So he sailed twice to new found lands the first he actually did not go and like set foot on the land. The second time though. He touches land at Maine and d Quebec. John Cabot’s death was in the year 1499 when he was at the age of 49 years old.
